Title: Real-world outcomes and economic evaluation predictions: do they correlate? A study with ophthalmic drugs.
Objective:
- To clarify the role of pharmacoeconomic studies as a tool to inform policy decision making of ophthalmic drugs.
Subobjectives:
- Identify pharmacoeconomic studies of ophthalmic drugs, characterize them, assess their methodological quality – Current status: complete.
- Analyze the pharmacoeconomic studies of ophthalmic drugs by exploring the effectiveness outcomes used and the sources of evidence that supports them – Current status: complete.
- Evaluate if the results provided by these pharmacoeconomic studies reflect the results from clinical practice – Current status: still to do.
Research question: Are the real-world outcomes of ophthalmic drugs in line with the results of pharmacoeconomic studies that supported their financing decisions?
Main contributions: Considering an aging population and the consequent social and economic impact of eye disorders and given the limitations of data supporting drugs’ reimbursement, it is relevant to determine in which extent pharmacoeconomic studies of ophthalmic drugs provide solid and trustworthy ground for responsible social political and economic decision making.
